Marijuana/Cannabis is beneficial in many ways, a new study from UCLA states that it may increase brain activity. At worst it slows the brain cells temporarily, yet even under temporary paralys, the cells still regenerate to full capacity. Cannabis relieves tension, thus making very useful in treating pain, especially chronic pains, and relieves symptoms like stress, not to mention relieves pressure in the back of the eyes for Glaucoma patients. Marijuana gives AIDS patients an appetite.
There are no cases documented in the history of medicine of Cannabis/Marijuana having a fatal effect and the National Highway Safety Institute reports that marijuana users have the same or lower amount of accidents as the general non marijuana using population as a whole.

All of these facts are openly available. Sources UCLA: First and Second Jamaican Studies, Costa Rican Studies, and the Crancer Study. Jack Herer.com, Judge Young, Mass Justice, and the National Highway Safety Institute 2004 report.
Given these facts, what do you think the laws on Cannabis/Marijuana should be in CA, MA, NY, PA.
Please only answer if you are from one of these states and keep in mind that all of these states are on the verge of legalization, as of now, we are all decriminalized. Facts and laws courtesy of NORML.

It doesn't matter what the states do. As long as the federal govt declares it illegal, those laws preempt state laws, even medical use.

Weed will remain illegal for the foreseeable future
Why?
The biggest block of voters are PARENTS
No parent wants their kid to have a drug problem
weed is seen as a drug, and a gate-way to harder drugs like crack
20 years ago ppl said weed would be legal in 20 years
it won't happen
The best you can hope for is 'selective enforcement'
here in Detroit, the cops rarely hassle weed smokers and dealers
the 'weed problem' here is 'contained'

What survey? Just, FYI, give it about 20 years, and Cannabis will be legalized. It takes time to make major social changes in attitudes.
